Mighty Be Our Powers: How Sisterhood, Prayer, and Sex Changed a Nation at War by Leymah Gbowee

5.0

An incredible woman and her awe inspiring story. This was published before she won a Nobel Peace Prize, an extremely well deserved honour. In a better world though a story like hers wouldn't exist. The horrors of the Liberian civil war beggar belief. It's impossible for me to imagine what living through that would have been like, coming from a privileged western upbringing. Leymah Gbowee and the women she worked with deserve worldwide respect and if the methods they used can be implemented in other areas of conflict then the world may become a better place.
